Authentic Life Wellness PLLC

Since I can remember, I have been fascinated by the human experience. It can be beautiful, surprising, challenging, confusing, complex and sometimes downright painful. I am passionate about being with you as you are on your human journey while also serving as a support person and guide to help you explore and navigate your experiences and relationships. I have been told I am a heart centered, authentic, and extremely present therapist who is with you in the heavy stuff, calls you out when you are stuck, and offers sincere compassion when you are struggling. I graduated from the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities with a Bachelor of Individualized Studies degree in Psychology, Relationship Studies, and Communication and obtained a Masters degree in Counseling Psychology from the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology (now Sophia University) in Palo Alto, California. I have over 15 years of experience working in various settings and am licensed as a marriage and family therapist in the state of Minnesota as well as a MFT board approved supervisor. I am also a certified Prepare Enrich premarital counselor. I call my therapeutic approach "practical woo" (relational, transpersonal, mindfulness, psychodynamic, parts work, emotionally focused, applicable, and creative). I use she/her/hers pronouns, am part of the LGBTQIA+ community and also identify as a highly sensitive person. I am social justice minded and committed to continuous growth and learning around my own biases. ​When not in the therapy office you may find me at an alternative healing, yoga, or dance class, hanging out with my two sweet and clever cats (Finn and Willow), spending time in nature, or taking an afternoon to let my creativity fly!
